Welcome to the 2021-2022 School Year
Dear Catskill Families, Welcome to the 2021-22 school year! I am thrilled to be welcoming your children back to school. We have eagerly anticipated the full reopening of our campus. Our continued commitment to fostering perseverance, resilience, empathy, grit and the ability to communicate effectively in diverse learning partnerships will undoubtedly help our students thrive socially emotionally and academically. We will continue working diligently to meet the diverse needs of our students through small group instruction across all grade levels. Our deliberate work to instill tools for self-regulation and emotional wellness will carry on through lessons by our teachers and support staff. Catskill Avenue is a place where staff and families come together to ensure our children grow to be productive, confident, compassionate members of our community. First Day of School- August 16th-Gates will open at 7:45. For health and safety reasons-only students will be allowed on campus. We will have classroom assignments posted outside the school with your child’s room number. We will have personnel to help your child find their room. Back to School Night-August 19th 5:00-6:30 p.m. **All students will need a covid test within 14 days before returning to school** **Please check Catskillcougars.org frequently for updates as to the procedures for parents on campus on the first day of school and our school re-opening.

Let’s put this year behind us! It has been quite a ride and with all that we’ve been through, we came out on top. I’ve been so proud of our efforts as a school. Everyone that is part of Catskill Elementary should be extremely happy that we survived this year and made the best of all of the challenges. This is a special place. Our teachers and staff made it a mission to ensure that no matter what, we were going to educate your children to the best of our abilities each and every day. They succeeded and so did our students. The kids overcame a lot and they will remember this year when they look back on their education. Children and teachers never met a task they were able to overcome and they did with flying colors. To our lunch staff - thank you for working hard to feed our children. To our custodial staff - thank you for moving things around-here, there, and it seemed like everywhere. To our staff - thank you for being willing to help out whenever needed and doing it with a smile. To our office staff - thank you for keeping things organized and running smoothly. Mrs. Romo we will miss you but wish you the best in your retirement. To our teachers - thank you for being the absolute rock stars each and every day. To our parents, grandparents, and guardians - thank you for supporting us every step of the way. To our children - you will remember this year and what you went through - you did awesome! May we live, laugh, and learn together..Have a safe and fun summer and see you on August 16th! Sincerely, Ms. Zopatti |
